Oh, Santos!

00:41:15 – Horror News of the Week for 12/30/2013Dave shines a magical bright New Years light on the first Horror News of the Week for 2014. He starts off with a ton of news for HNR favorite, Bill Oberst Jr., with announcements about Circus of the Deadand Children of Sorrow. The ghost tale Cassadagais up next with an impressive 12 minute making of video supporting the film’s DVD/BluRay release. Santos, hell, the entire crew, is shocked with the announcement of a remake of Starship Troopers – and just wait to hear the blasphemous spin they may be taking. Robocophas released a ton of images for the film which is giving some of the cast hope that the film may be good, but not everyone. Oh, Santos. Netflix is adding 47 new horror films to its roster and Dave has a few highlights.
